Original "Show boat" visits Capital. The "Show Boat" about which Edna Ferber based her book by that name is one of the few that are still doing business on Eastern rivers. It is now docked on the Potomac river in Washington for an engagement. Miss Ferber spent five weeks on the boat, gathering material for her novel, and its skipper, Capt. Hall, corraborated in the making of the "Show Boat" motion picture. 11/21/30
Workers on Rickenbacker rescue boat. They played a part in the rescue of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and six men of his crew in the Pacific. Elmer K. Brown and Flossie Anson, of Akron, Ohio, built one of the two life rafts on which the party drifted for three weeks. Miss Anson, who has been continuously at work on boats and ballons for the past six years, said "it certainly was a worthwhile thrill and satisfaction to know that we had a share in the making of the boats which effected the rescue of the Rickenbacker party"

Famous Rialto Bridge in Danger. The Venetians are talking about keeping motor boats out of the Grand Canal. Meanwhile scores of them scoot back and forth every day along the classic "through-fare". One of the city fathers of Venice, explained to an American Red Cross man, the reasons for banning motor craft. "Every motor boat" he said "creates a good sized wave." Every palace along the canal is suffering from this constant wash, that we are afraid will undermine those houses. Even the Rialto (shown in the background of this photograph) is endangered. The Grand Canal is a kind of gateway to the industrial city of Venice, across the lagoon on the mainland. Motor boats must use the Grand Canal until a strictly industrial waterway is cut between the Adriatic and the commercial section

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Red-hot, this steel plate is shaped on the mold to form a stern section for a member of the "Liberty Fleet," under construction at a large Eastern shipyard. The work is being done at a nearby plant formerly used for the building of freight cars. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland
Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Welding is one of the most important advances of the century in shipbuilding, saving time, steel and weight. This welder is working on the inside of a fuel tank in a ship of Uncle Sam's new "Liberty Fleet." All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland
